Can WMP play AVCHD (MPEG-4/H.264) ? What format is AVCHD (MPEG-4/H.264) ?

Windows Media Player is the true weird player. It is not the standard, and you're fooling yourself if you think otherwise. Also, for your information, something 'playing by default in WMP' is controlled simply by the set of DirectShow codecs installed on the system - it has nothing to do with the player itself. So in 20 years, you'll still have to have the correct codecs installed, regardless of the player you decide to use. And in 20 years, if you still use WMP, something must have been very wrong with the world leading up to that. Codecs will be a thing of the past and video files (if we even still have a concept of files) will include their own coding embedded within them because storage and bandwidth limitations have disappeared. VLC is the player of choice for me currently, as it uses a set of libraries that can play literally anything, and is constantly evolving, unlike WMP. Don't trust proprietary formats and players - they won't last anyway.

Yes. You can use windows media player or install another program, but WMP is already installed on it.

Windows Media Player plays .mov, you probably just need to download the most recent version. It's Apple Quicktime format fyi.

99% certain you cannot CAPTURE directly to H.264 with Intensity. User Guide does not list specific capture formats, but from my experience H.264 will not be on the list. On Mac, will be .mov formats and .avi for PC

Yes, the flash memory based HD Canons, like all those discussed here, do record in the AVCHD format, as do the flash memory based HD Sonys, like the CX300. AVCHD is the standard format for higher-quality flash memory based HD camcorders.

For MKV, that depends on the files. Video files are more complex than what filename extension they use. The MKV vidoes would need to meet certain requirements, one of which is to be H.264. http://support.roku.com/entries/423946-What-media-file-types-does-the-Roku-Media-Player-channel-support- Roku does not support the (outdated) AVI format directly. You could transcode (convert) them yourself or use a media server (like Plex, Media Browser, or MyMedia) to do it on-the-fly as needed. You could also look at the WD TV devices, which prioritize support for media on connected storage. http://wdc.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2698/~/list-of-compatible-media-file-types-for-all-wd-tv-and-wd-elements-play-products

It looks like the only recording file types are AVCHD and MP4. You would have to convert one of these file types to .mov

^^Only mpeg2 files I believe, stuff recorded from a camcorder (ACVHD) and digital camera (Quicktime??). You can't play regular movie files like TS/VOB files if that's what you're asking.

The downside of shooting everything in 3D is your file sizes will be larger. Watching in 2D is possible. If you have a 3D TV, you can choose to switch to 2D mode. If you are watching on a computer, The AVCHD 2 file format will display in 2D in editing software that does not support 3D. Tip: If you are going to do editing with Sony Movie Studio ensure you get version 13. Version 12 crashed every time I tried to render 3D movies. I've tested version 13 and Sony have now fixed the bug.

If you have an Intel based Mac you will be able to handle the AVCHD codec. If you have an earlier PowerPC Mac (like the dual G5 I have) you will have to transcode to MPEG video to edit. This is a time consuming process as I learned when borrow an AVCHD camera from a family member. More information is available on video forums regarding this concern.

Full HD Movies at 60p/60i/24pCapture HD Movies in your choice of super-smooth 60p, standard 60i or cinematic 24p, all at Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution. AVCHD codec delivers stunning picture quality. MP4 codec offers smaller files for easier upload to the web. Sound can be recorded via the built-in stereo microphone or through the use of an external microphone when connected via the standard mic input. ----- From B&H; website.

There is no VCD format exists. This term has used for different video formats. This player will handle AVI and MPEG-2, will not handle FLV and MPEG-4. You need to determine which format is it. It can be done on your PC.

Hi! No, mp4 files do not play nor a plethora of other common files through USB or SD card. I have had a heck of a time with customer service, but I can tell you after a month going back and forth I could **ONLY**successfully play video converted as such: Xvid (format AVI, video codec Xvid, Audio Codec MP3) resolution 640*480. From their technical help emails: File Codecs supported: . MP3 . XviD . MPEG1 & 2 . JPEG NOT Supported . WMA . WMV (Windows Media Video) 9.1 . VCD 1.1 . VCD 2.0 . SVCD . DiVX ************************************************************** SD card Formats supported - Normal SD, 50X SD SD card maximum size in GB -- 4G USB - 2.0 - 4G max My question: why it can't read beyond a 4G USB (or SD card) drive? Their Answer: There are limitations of the product due to the size of the internal processor. Increasing the size of the internal processor and adding additional file formats would directly impact the price point of the product.
